Deer in the Graveyard at 16th Street

I know the deer who were immortalized :) in the above poem survived being chased because I was able to film them about a year later. Only one appears in the video below, but as you can see, she keeps looking back towards her sister:

My English Final

One bracingly pleasant element of my college years was coming to class prepared to scribble away in the "blue book" that had been handed me for the purpose of testing my knowledge of some aspect of American or English literature. Although my blissful days of undergraduate literary critiques are long gone, I often still get the hankering and here's where those otherwise-orphaned musings will find a home.

And the cool photo header is my maternal grandfather, who, although he only had a formal sixth-grade education, was a Chicago typesetter and a great reader who instilled his daughter with a love of books which she then passed on to me.
